1927208311927. Photo album documenting a multi country group यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ in 1927 records interwar travel across southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean including regions under colonial administration and recent political transition. The album follows a group of travelers moving from France through Italy Greece Turkey British administered Palestine and Egypt capturing urban landmarks archaeological sites and local populations encountered along the route. The sequence provides visual evidence of tourism infrastructure mobility and cross cultural observation during a period when former imperial territories such as Constantinople were undergoing redefinition following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of modern nation states.<br /> <br /> Album contains 93 black and white silver gelatin photographs and four real photo postcards with images ranging approximately from 2.5 x 4 inches to 3.5 x 5.5 inches and one larger group photograph measuring about 9 x 7 inches. Photographs are mounted on black paper boards with handwritten captions in white pencil and interleaved tissue guards; string bound in patterned cloth boards. The album opens in Avignon with views of St. Pierre's Church and the Palais des Papes then continues through Italy with scenes of Naples and Pompeii as well as shipboard images captioned S.S. Adriatic. Subsequent sections include Athens with views of the Parthenon followed by Constantinople where four postcards depict the harbor the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and the Hagia Sophia shortly after the end of the Ottoman Empire. In British Mandate Palestine images show street scenes in Nazareth and Jerusalem including sites along the River Jordan the Western Wall and the Garden of Gethsemane alongside a captioned portrait labeled "A Jewish Maiden." The album concludes in Egypt with extensive views of archaeological and urban sites at Thebes Memphis Cairo and Luxor including the Obelisk of Hatshepsut Edfu Temple the tomb of Amenhotep II the Colossi of Memnon and the pyramids and Great Sphinx at Giza where the final group portrait shows the travelers posed on camels.<br /> <br /> Produced during the interwar period the album reflects expanding international tourism networks alongside ongoing European influence in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.

19231784971923-31. Policing Palestine An absorbing day-to-day record of British policing in Mandatory Palestine these diaries chart the volatile years from 1920 to the early 1930s offering a granular view of religious and social tensions and of Britain's often self-serving pursuit of "law and order". Major Laurence Harrington joined the Palestine Police at its inception in July 1920 rose rapidly and served mainly in Jerusalem and Jaffa. He witnessed the 1929 disturbances and later gave evidence to the Shaw Commission. His diaries consist of brief functional entries kept for official purposes with gaps when volumes were sent for inspection and frequent references to named officers and local figures. Religious violence dominates the record. Harrington repeatedly investigates killings framed explicitly in religious terms orders precautionary deployments and manages flashpoints such as Labour Day nationalist demonstrations anniversaries strikes and boycotts. He records crowd control operations armed patrols prison break-outs manhunts with shoot-to-kill authority and the tense aftermath of the 1929 riots including censorship confiscations and plain-clothes operations to suppress unrest. Alongside this the diaries document routine but hazardous police work - drug-smuggling busts raids on suspected agitators and the exposure of corrupt informants - as well as Harrington's ceremonial duties escorting senior British officials and visiting dignitaries. His proximity to power brings an active social life offset by football as a constant release. The final volume anticipates the worsening climate of the 1930s with police on continual alert for political and communal triggers. No other diaries by Harrington are known to survive making this candid administrative record an unusually fortunate and valuable witness to the mandate's daily realities. 6 vols octavo. Original quarter cloth five black one red rebacked boards lettered in black. Bindings rubbed covers with splash stains and tidemarks and labels torn away internally some foxing and finger soiling. Overall in condition commensurate with maintaining a diary on active duty: well preserved. hardcover
